Producer Mitu, is very excited for Pankh, a special episode in her show Nishabd. She says that when she wrote the story of this particular episode, it was not meant to be part of the anthology, and things turned in a way that it soon became part of it and has turned out beautifully.
“Pankh was a short film I had written in 2017. Somehow it never got made. I guess it was supposed to be made later and for Atrangii because it got pushed for some reason or the other. Then I got a lazy block where I couldn’t write anymore for an unexplainable reason. Even when I pitched it to Atrangii, I had given it to another writer but it was destiny that got me to finish it. So well, things fell in place when they had to. Also, when I wrote the short film was when I was making my Star Plus pilot with Lavin Gothi and Arshima Thapar as the main leads. I had narrated the story to them and they had told me they will be there when it’s ready to shoot and they were. So yes, it is my most special story in that way. In all the episodes this is the first that the story of the Ally and not centred around the gay characters. It’s a journey of redemption that makes the story also special, ” she says.
Many actors have made a comeback with the episode. Talking about the same, Mitu says, “It starts with Arshima Thapar who is making a comeback after a number of years. She played Cady in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain , and she was the second lead of Bhaage Re Mann, as well as the main lead of Pehel Ek Nagi Subah. She has come back after a hiatus and done more than justice to the character of Pavni. Then there is Gautam Chaturvedi, who is making a comeback after 15 years. I am happy to be part of that comeback as his last show as an actor was with me (Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii) and his comeback is also with me . He is rocking as Dr Dwivedi. There is Smita Kalpvriksh Gupta who is also a great actor. She took a break in 2002 when she got married and she has also come back with this one. Then there is renowned director Ravindra Gautam who has kind of made his acting debut on this one. He was a stage actor and this is the first time he is facing a camera.”
